This paper describes the creation and proposed implementation of Evidence-Based Practice in Utah: A Module for Occupational Therapy Students (UTMOST), an educational module to be used by students during their level II fieldwork at an acute care hospital in the United States. UTMOST will promote evidence-based practice, clinical competency and scholarship in occupational therapy students doing their level II fieldwork. UTMOST furthers the American Occupationla Therapy Association’s (AOTA) Centennial Vision by strengthening the relationship between clinicians, educators and students. The module was informed by concepts, and uses language from the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process, 3rd edition. It adheres to standards of the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education and promotes American Occupational Therapy Association’s Continuing Competence Standards. The module was developed as a result of a review and appraisal of current literature and evidence.
